You could probably just eat the dead parrot... or sell it, pretend that the parrot is indeed alive and not deceased.

@bobknight33

Please tell me what your experience is with the scientific community. Do not waffle or sidestep the issue but answer exactly what the extent of your experience with scientific research is, and if necessary how that positions you to judge scientific material.

Please also provide three examples from three separate (and recent) peer reviewed (and published, i.e. forming part of the scientific argument) scientific research papers from approximately the last 4 years (since 2010) that provides something illogical as a foundation argument or any particular conclusion. (You realise of course that even 3,5,10, 100 out of 10 thousand is meaningless, but i know that you can't even understand the layout of a scientific paper, nevermind find 3 examples of an illogical statement in a scientific paper.... even my professors would struggle with that.)

I'm not going out of my way to be a dick here @bobknight33 .. but if you tried to give people medical advice (chemotherapy is illogical propaganda!) then you would be expected to have an expertise in medicine. So don't run away from your responsibility.

This shouldn't be a difficult challenge for you, being as you are so certain and so correct that the science is illogical propaganda. I've had to accept things that ran completely counter to my intuition, so if climate change science is bull then as soon as you prove it, i'm on board.

So go ahead, explain to me simply and clearly what makes it bullshit science, or you're going to have to admit that you don't even have the first clue what you're talking about (as i strongly suspect).

Believe climate SCIENCE, do not believe what politicians and industry leaders tell you about climate science - ASK A FUCKING SCIENTIST. And most of all - @bobknight33 - it is NOT ok to pretend to understand science and lie to people about it, you deceptive, brain-dead parrot. Well, having said that, at least parrots have redeeming features.

Dear god I just wish I had such an awesome video dedicated to me.

Start ranting on a particular subject and I'll see what I can do. : P

I always liked the dead parrot sketch.


Monty Python recycled the same concept a couple of them had from an earlier show to make the Dead Parrot sketch. Good stuff...might as well copy the funniest group alive.

I always liked the dead parrot sketch.

Cheers K! You have great taste.

That debate was like the dead parrot sketch.

I always preferred the Goodies, who were funny in a gloriously silly way. Looking back, Python seemed a bit too self-consciously clever. That's not to say a few sketches didn't hit home but they were simpler and to the point. Stuff like the Dead Parrot sketch has never made me laugh much. I loved one bit when doctors are playing football against the Long John Silvers

What has always amazed me is how popular they seem to be in America.
